What kind of ingest rates can SRB get?
In terms of number of files per second, for files stored in HPSS, it is limited by the ingestion rate of HPSS (we are still using the ENCINA based HPSS). The SRB bulk load mechanism can do 30-50 files per second. For I/O rate, it pretty much depends on the hardware and network. We can get up to 50 Mb/sec with 3-4 mover threads while the rate from HSI is about 30-40 % higher because data does not have to go through any SRB server.
